with google ads you can only have one click per ad per each unique ip address. their way of preventing people from robbing them blind...

This is actually an important point if you use AdSense. Anyone who actually sees the ads on this site knows that the poll of possible ads you see is pretty small. This is largely because the front page of UGN is fairly static. I personaly, out of curiosity, have visited links that Google Adsense displays on the front page. However, a new advertisment rarely comes up, giving me little cause to click.

Take this into consideration when using Adsense on your site. Use Adsense on various pages with different types of content(like UGN does), or be sure to keep the content new and interesting so that the user sees different Ads each time they visit.

NOTE: I know this is a bit old, but it's still pretty high on the first page, so I call it fair game.

The content is pulled site wide, which includes the forums; the forums is a HUGE pool of information, but is not "streamlined" enough for the adsense spider to access it all; this will be changed with the next forum upgrade (coming within a couple o fmonths).

And quickie, so long as you have something "of value" to add, you can bump any thread you wish
